I had to make a choice when recording this podcast. I had to make a choice to put some of the most shameful parts of my life online for people to judge. I also had to accept that there very well could be backlash and or retaliation because of this being published. However, I am one of the lucky ones. I have a platform to speak THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I have the ability to hire lawyers, afford therapy, seek support from my loved ones and most importantly - amplify this issue that is happening to so many young people across the world who CANNOT speak out about it. If I had nerves doing it, I can only imagine how some of you feel without these resources. This is for you.

Thank you to my confidants, everyone on my team, my parents, my sister and mostly my best friend Lacey for being the voice I needed when I couldn't use my own.
